This 700 year old market, first granted it’s Charter by Edward I, is set in the picturesque Lake District National Park in Cumbria. Originally taking place on Saturdays, due to the popularity of the town an additional ‘Local Produce and Craft Fair’ has taken place on Thursday from February until Christmas for the past decade and has grown to include a general market also.

Owing to the buzz of this market, run by Groupe Geraud for the past sixteen years on license from Allerdale Council, and the team work between management and traders, the title of Britain’s Best Outdoor Market is richly deserved and Love Your Local Market is excited to be featuring this great market during Love Your Local Market fortnight.
